Here it is! A highlight reel of Eclectic Collective's greatest moments in the year 2023. This medley includes short interviews with group members, interspersed with their music. Special thanks to Jeff (StonerJazz) for hosting the Q&A, and to J.J. for assembling the medley. 

The Eclectic Collective (EC) is a very loose band of musicians who collaborate over the internet and communicate via email only. I'm honoured to have worked with the EC on a few songs, and look forward to playing with them again soon! Hope you enjoy listening!

The 2023 Eclectic Collective Rockumentary

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil VI. (31.01.2024 )

Die Kraft der Musik.
Ich habe es bewusst Pianomeditationen genannt. Zart und mitfühlend.
Wenn auch andere Instrumente zart, minimalistisch – wie bei dieser Aufnahme - begleitend mitwirken.
Ein Hauch von fließenden und wellenförmigen Klangharmonien.
Hier also die Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem sechsten Teil der Pianomeditationen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil V. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-v

Klaviermusik einmal anders arrangiert mit zarten umwobenen Klangformen. 
Das Klavier bleibt immer noch im Vordergrund der Komposition.
Jedes Klavier hat seine eigene Mystik und Klang. 
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Folgt den Klängen ohne Gedanken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für uns Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Spielerisch, improvisierend mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste von Ton zu Ton leitend hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Die Komposition ist bereits da, ich horche in die Stille.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

So mit starte ich eine musikalische Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The Keys I Love” Part VI. (01/31/2024)

The power of music.
I deliberately called it piano meditations. Tender and compassionate.
Even if other instruments also play a delicate, minimalistic role - as in this recording.
A touch of flowing and undulating sound harmonies.
So here is the continuation of my sound resonance journey with this sixth part of the piano meditations.

You can listen to “The Keys I Love” Part V at this link:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-v

Piano music arranged in a different way with delicate, interwoven sound forms.
The piano still remains at the forefront of the composition.
Every piano has its own mystique and sound.
Getting involved with the sound and listening intensively is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds without thoughts. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for us humans.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Playfully, improvising, surrendering to the feeling of each key leading from note to note.
Without paying attention to a right or wrong tone.
Because there is actually no wrong tone. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
The composition is already there, I listen to the silence.
Life is a composition.

Every body is different and has different vibrations.

So I'm starting a musical journey with the keys I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, recovery, and healing of our sound bodies.

I wish you loving, calming and relaxed sound moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.

The Keys I Love Part VI.

Late 80s/early 90s Tascam song. If I remember right, Morry wrote the music and had all the instrumentation done and then we got together to figure out lyrics and vocals in a session or two. Hope our SC friends enjoy.

Bringing Me Down

Battlefield

This song has been co-written with David Cuny.

On june 6, forty four
You landed on this sand
Stormed the beach at Omaha
With a grease gun in your hand
Under heavy german fire
Fought to make it up the shore
Up into the breach
And to the killing floor

Bodies lying on the ground
Drowned soldiers in cold water
Though death was all around
You survived the slaughter
So many friends have fallen
So many lives were lost
Still, you had a job to do
No matter what the cost

Today in Normandy
You weep for the losses
Of your brothers resting deep
Under these white stone crosses
And though eighty years have passed
Since they have paid the price
We always will remember
And thank them for their sacrifice

On june 6, forty four (with David Cuny)

Je suis surtout compositeur et parfois parolier.
Merci à tous les interprètes qui mettent si bien en voix mes musiques.
Les arrangements sont faits à partir du logiciel Band-in-a-Box.

On june 6, forty four (with David Cuny)
